Welcome to the airAlert service for Sussex

airAlert

airAlert is a free service which sends ‘alerts’ to advise about forecast air pollution before it happens.

The airAlert service informs people with health conditions such as asthma, of episodes of poor air quality, to enable them to take preventative action before the air pollution event occurs..

What is airAlert-4-schools?

airAlert-4-schools is a service which supports vulnerable young people by sending alerts directly to schools prior to an episode of air pollution happening. If you register for the airAlert service we will send an email to the school reception or the relevant health support worker, to inform the school of an air pollution forecast. The airAlert contains the date, duration and type of forecast air pollution.

The schools can then take action by informing the children who have asthma or health conditions affected by poor air quality, and monitor their condition during the period of air pollution.

In addition schools can cascade the information to parents or guardians of those children affected.
